counting my blessingshttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3854519
Well, this year is coming to a close. It's been a not so great year for me, but I am blessed. I had my first ever surgery and came out successful. It was more complicated than anticipated, one of my masses was double in size than was estimated and my surgery took 4 hours instead of 2.5 like we were told. But, I do not have cancer. They were officially diagnosed as "no signs of malignancy" growths. Whew. Thank God! <BR>

Well Sparkfriends, in one week I will be going in for surgery. I haven't shared, but I have 2 very large masses in the right side of my thyroid and some masses in the left side of my sinuses and they all need to come out. So I will be having surgery to remove the whole right side of my thyroid and since my surgeon is a ENT she'll be removing the masses in my sinuses as well at the same time. I am a nervous wreck, I've never ever ever had surgery before. I am also nervous because there is a po...Wed, 24 Nov 2010 12:16:53 ESTI'm losthttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3748085
I'm feeling lost here on SP. Some of the teams I used to be comfortable on are so big and intimidating now. I don't even know if there's a BLC going on at the moment. Anyone have a team they'd recommend, I need some support if I'm going to get out of this slump. <BR>
I did not walk the marathon, I didn't want to risk making my stress fracture worse. I cannot wait until I can get back to running. <BR>

Well sadly I got the official diagnosis of what I already knew, I have a stress fracture in my left tibia. And the detroit marathon is this Sunday. :( No way I can run it, but I may chance walking it. I've already paid the $80 entry fee. <BR>
I've got some other health issues but I'm not really ready to share just yet. I've been eating to soothe myself and it's time to make better choices for my health. I can only do this for myself. <BR>

Just wanted to update! <BR>
I have been training for my first full marathon and I had to take a 3 week leave from running due to injury :( I thought it was shin splints but after 2 weeks off the pain was still there so I went and had my leg Xrayed and the Xray came back neg for a fracture....but they still want to do a bone scan to be sure there's no fracture but I am not sure on having that test done. I did ease back into running this week and kept it at 1/2 the distance I was doing, so tod...Sun, 22 Aug 2010 14:14:43 ESTcoming cleanhttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3477710
I wish I had more time to sit here and re read some of my old blogs. (two kids I've found is quadruple the work of just one!) <BR>
I used to be sooooo committed to eating right! I wish I could pinpoint where I've went wrong, what made me veer off the path...but I cannot I just don't know? Next month I will have been at this journey for 4 years. And in 4 years I've lost 70ish lbs, gained 60 and birthed a 9.5lb baby at home like I planned for, and ran 2 half marathons! Yet, I wake up every day...Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:17:18 ESTbeen MIAhttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3451351
I don't know why I lost my spark. I just stopped caring, I was tired of it all. I stopped checking in with my team, with my friends. Well, I think I am ready to come back. I need to stop the cycle before I find myself with a lot of weight to lose. As of right now, I've kept it to about 10lbs. My 30th birthday is in 2 months (from today) and I want to be healthy, fit, active, and of course I want to look great too hehe. <BR>

I've been so busy, but I wanted to update about my 1/2 marathon finish this past weekend. I finished my 3rd half marathon (second one running it) on Saturday and I finished in 2 hours and 23 minutes! I am so proud, it was a nice day and while the course was kinda boring I did it and am happy and proud!Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:48:54 ESThonestyhttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3000199
I need to be honest with myself. <BR>
<BR>
I can no longer bake for my friends or family. I cannot put loaves of quick bread in my freezer. I cannot have it in my house. It's ok. My friends and family know I can bake cookies and quick bread. They will live without me providing these items to them. If I MUST, I can stop at a store on the way over somewhere and pick up some from a bakery to give to someone. <BR>

Well I cannot believe I've stuck it out 8 weeks, after this week I will have completed phase 2 and have only phase 3 before I am a "p90X grad". Pretty cool! My dh works with men who gave up on the program after only 3 weeks, and I've stuck with it! I will admit, I am ready for a break because between that and my running it's a lot....but it's still a good program and I think at the end of this week I need to take some progress pics to compare and see how my definition is coming along.Tue, 2 Mar 2010 21:21:49 ESTMarch, in like a lion....out like a.....http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2939896

The last 3 weeks of being on BLC12's extreme team have been awesome! I am on a team of people who seem to be the most disciplined, focused and goal oriented people I think I've ever met on Spark. We all have to share our food and exercise trackers, so I get the opportunity to see what they are eating and how much they are exercising, and even their daily (and weekly) calorie deficits! It truly is a awesome team!

It got me thinking about what a balancing act this is..... <BR>

I will be following the Jeff Galloway training, because I like that it's a 3 day a week running schedule and I want to focus on more strength training right now also. I've got the P90X dvds here also, I am going to give one a whirl tomorrow. I don't have a chin up bar, but maybe I'll buy the resistance bands to use instead? I'm not sure on that yet.

I am shocked, proud and happy I've been chosen to be part of the BLC12's "extreme team"!! I am having mixed emotions about it. But this is the push I wanted that day when I decided to apply. I wanted to have someone tell me again that I HAVE to log my food. No more excuses, just do it. I've been sabotaging myself for too long, since my pregnancy when I stopped logging my food and my baby's nearly 11 months old now.

I did a turkey trot 10K today, signed up for the 5K but missed the split so I finished the 10K, ran the whole thing. My forerunner says I finished in 1:06:34 with a average pace of 10:27min/mile.

I reached my goal weight of getting at or below my pre pregnancy weight! My son is 9.5 months and I've now lost all the 60lbs I gained while pregnant with him! I've changed my ticker to reflect the fact that I'd like to maintain my weight in a 5lb range for now. I maintained my weight for about a year before getting pregnant with my son, I plan on doing the same right now before we may consider adding a 3rd child to our family. So, my work is not over, maintaining can be harder than losing!Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:15:36 ESTMy dream came true!http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2490012
Yesterday I accomplished a major goal. I ran my first half marathon. I did it. I ran the whole 13.1 miles without stopping once, not even for a potty break or to walk. I took some sips of water but continued running thru those. I did the Detroit Flagstar Marathon 1/2 Marapthon and it was my second time attempting this race. My first go at it was in 2007, when I injured myself training and had to walk the whole race. I finished that year in 3 hours 16 minutes. Not too bad for walking 13.1 mil...Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:29:30 ESTSelf Reminderhttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2347252
AN ALWYN FAT LOSS RANT <BR>
<BR>
By Alwyn Cosgrove <BR>
<BR>
This week I’ve heard more excuses as to why people are not losing fat than I have ever heard in my life. I have literally heard people tell their trainers, “I’m following the nutrition program exactly, but instead of an egg white omelet for breakfast, I have a muffin and a latte.” Hmmm…not “exactly” the same thing, is it? <BR>
So I thought this would be a good time to share some of my ‘wisdom” with those of you still looking for t...Wed, 26 Aug 2009 07:38:28 EST6 monthshttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2289031
6 months ago today, I went in to labor....finally.....at 41 weeks 5 days pregnant! The labor started off very mild, I did house chores and cooked dinner thru the mild contractions. I wasn't really exactly sure I was in labor at the time. But at just over 8am the next morning, I was holding my new baby boy, and my dream of having a home waterbirth came true! <BR>

Who wants a "CUT" body? This weekend it's back to basics! Challenge runs Friday 12:01am through Tuesday Midnight. We all want to have those ripped bodies with rippling abs, "wings" in our upper arms (the good kind, not the bat wings), no more bra overhang, and of course nice tone legs that go all the way to the neck!

Accurately count my calories 6 days a week consistently with only one non-counting "off" day.Wed, 22 Apr 2009 08:06:29 EST
